Roasted Cauliflower & Sweet Potato Lentil Soup [vegan] [gluten free]

Thick and velvety, this Roasted Cauliflower & Sweet Potato Lentil Soup is full of body and taste.

Roasted Cauliflower & Sweet Potato Lentil Soup [vegan] [gluten free] by The Flexitarian

Thick and velvety, this Roasted Cauliflower & Sweet Potato Lentil Soup is full of body and taste. Warming lunch or dinner, this is an ideal dish to warm up to on a cold winter day. This is a perfect budget and comfort food recipe that the kids will enjoy too.

A nutritious meal option, soup is one of my favourite to-go lunches. You can find more of my favourite soup recipes here.

Roasting the vegetables first brings out their flavours, so you do not have to add too many spices or herbs. There is no need for cream as lentils add some extra creaminess as well as iron, fibre and healthy low-fat proteins.

For an extra kick, you can top this soup with fresh parsley and hot chilli powder, but chilli oil or hot paprika also work well. If you have some homemade vegetable stock, it will work brilliantly instead of store-bought equivalent.

You can serve this Roasted Cauliflower & Sweet Potato Lentil Soup with crunchy bread and a green salad. I also like to roast a few cauliflower florets to add on top along with a sprinkle of pumpkin and sunflower seeds for extra goodness.

This scrumptious vegan chocolate courgette cake is a perfect example of how delicious plant-based baking can be. Pure indulgence! This is one of the most popular dessert recipes on the blog.

The courgettes are the secret and (very) discreet ingredient. You cannot taste them but they add moisture and texture as well as 1 of your 5 a day to this scrumptious chocolate cake.

Grab the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.

Bursting with flavours this Garlic & Tomato Pasta makes a delicious and easy summer dish that is perfect for this hot weather. You can serve it slightly warm or at room temperature. It is also scrumptious the next day as a cold leftover.

This is an old family recipe that back home we call Pâtes à l’ail. Growing up, my Sicilian great-aunt (yes I am a 1/4 Italian in case you did not know 😉) would make it for us in the summer when tomatoes are at their best. 

Like any recipe that has been passed down through generations, creating a written version of it, involved quite a few phone calls between my mum and one of our cousins. Everyone in the family makes this Garlic & Tomato Pasta from memory, adding their own twist and using approximate quantities of ingredients. My version is even more different as I have added cannellini beans for protein.

You can find the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.
